SanDisk's 16GB microSDHC and M2 memory cards

The only trouble is downloading enough choons to fit onto the cards

Considering we've had one of each for close to a week now, we're surprised it's taken SanDisk this long to formally introduce the 16GB microSDHC and M2 memory cards today, after months of rumours.

True, they're just memory cards, nothing to get particularly excited about - until you hear just how many songs and photos you can squeeze onto them and play via your mobile phone.

Available in October in the US, Europe and Asia, they're a must-have for anyone with a mobile phone featuring an expandable memory port, such as the Samsung INNOV8 i8510, which we tested the microSD card on. Coupled with the i8510's internal memory of 16GB, this gave the phone an impressive 32GB of storage.

Depending on the bitrate of the choons and videos you're transferring to the cards, you can squeeze on between 3,000 - 4,000 tracks and around 16 hours of video footage. Whilst we didn't test the limits on how many photos a 16GB card can hold (it would've taken us years to snap that many on the i8510), supposedly 16GB can fit 15,000 or so pics on. Anyone who actually tests that gets our ultimate respec'.

Transferring MP3s and video onto the cards was a dead-easy process, with a couple of options available - including hiding the small cards in a microSD card adaptor, or just connecting the mobile (with the card inside) to the PC.

Available in October, the 16GB microSDHC will be £45 and the 16GB M2 card will set you back a steep £60.

WE LOVE

That they're the world's largest
The easy transfer process

WE HATE

They get lost easily as they're so darn small
Not enough mobiles can take 16GB cards yet

WE SAY
